The Finding
CH.l: Dreams
------------------
"Sakura..."It was a man's voice. His back was to her, so she was unable to make out who it was.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Come to me." he replied.
The man—no, a boy—turned. His eyes were a peculiar shade of brown, they were like two amber jewels shining in the darkness. He beckoned to her with his hand.
"Come to me." He repeated more forcefully, reaching out suddenly and grabbing her wrist.
"AAAAI I I I IEEEEE!!"
Wide-eyed, she shot up in bed, panting and out of breath. Sweat covered her entire body and she was shivering. But it was not from the cold.
"mmmm.... What the hell was that?" she moaned.
She briefly considered trying to go back to sleep, but dismissed the possibility of sleep quickly when she remembered the dream. She knew she would never be able to return to slumberland after a dream like that. She frowned, disappointed at the loss of sleep.
'Well since I'm up, I might as well start getting ready for school.'
Then something struck her, it was still dark outside.
'Wait...' She turned to face her clock.
3:57!!
'Three and a half hours before the alarm goes off!' She put her hand to her forehead. 'I cant believe it... what am I supposed to do for 3 hours?!'
She laughed suddenly. It did not matter if she lost sleep over dreams. At least it was not sleep lost due to the Clow Cards. It had been 7 years since she captured the last of the cards, and finally she was living a "normal" person life. Doing what any teenage girl would be doing. She was happy. Even if she did lose 3 hours of sleep.
Getting up in bed she stretched and yawned, but not too loudly. She did not need to wake Kero up. She looked to the foot of her bed at the tiny little animal sleeping soundlessly. Smiling at him fondly she reached down to rub one of his oversized ears. He stirred suddenly, yawned, and rolled over. There was no need to wake him.
She got up from her large pink bed and padded across the room to look at her reflection in the long mirror. A petite girl of about 5'5 stared back at her, a girl with waist length auburn hair and overgrown bangs. Large emerald eyes shone softly in the dark room.
'I look so different now...' she thought, 'yes well, your looks have changed, but have you? Would your mother recognize you?' Something in her head questioned.'Of course she would! She is always with me, I can feel her. She is always watching, making sure everything is good for us.' She shook her head. It was too early to be arguing such silly things.
She headed into the bathroom and turned the hot and cold taps on full blast, hoping that they would wash away all her fear and worry. Her mother didn't need to be seen, Sakura felt her, and that presence was all that mattered.
--------------
"Good morning Father!"
Her father raised an eyebrow when she came down the stairs already dressed in her school uniform.
" Good morning Sakura, you're up early today."
" The Kaijuu actually woke up by herself?! Ahhhh, Repent! The end is near!" Touya said coming around the corner from the bathroom.
Sakura stomped down firmly on her brothers foot, earning a loud yelp.
"Shut-up you itiot." She hissed.
"Are you sure you're 17 kaijuu? Sometimes it's hard to believe that you're not still 10."
Sakura's only response was to step on his other foot. Ignoring his annoyed howl, she turned to her father and smiled. "That smells really good! Can we eat?"
He smiled back. "Yes. Fix yourself a drink."
"OK."
---------------
"Bye, Kaijuu!"
"SHUT-UP!" she shrieked, but as always her breath was wasted. Touya was already down the road on his motorcycle, leaving a cloud of dust in his place.
She scowled, wishing she had stepped on his feet harder.
Touya was presently working at the local hospital as a nurse, and she hardly ever saw Yukito-san, who was working as a kindergarten teacher. The school was close enough to his home that he didnt need a ride from Touya. So she didn't see him often. Well, of course she minded, but not as much as she thought she would. She was slowly coming to the realization that she didn't have much of a crush on Yukito-san any more. She wasn't sure if she liked it very much but that's the way things were. Truth be told it was a bit of a relief. She felt, oddly enough, that she had been set free.
'I suppose Li-kun would be happy.' She thought wryly.
Pulling the straps of her skates tightly, she stood up and grabbed her school bag.
"Dad! I'm leaving!" she yelled into the house.
"Ok bye honey, have a good day!"
"Ok!" She said loudly, muttering under her breath, "I'll try..."
Closing the door, she set off for another day at school.
